(ANNOUNCER)>> TODAY WE'RE
WRAPPING UP ALL THE LOOSE

ENDS ON PROJECT
WRANGLER REDO.

RYAN'S INSTALLING
HYDRAULIC STEERING AND MAKING SOME CUSTOM
ROCKER PROTECTION. THEN WE'RE TAKING OUR FOUR
WHEEL DRIVE CONVERTED JEEP OUT TO SEE JUST HOW
WELL EVERYTHING WORKS. IT'S ALL TODAY
HERE ON TRUCK TECH.

WRANGLER OUT FOR A
LITTLE TRAIL FUN. NOW IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER,
THIS JEEP ACTUALLY STARTED LIFE OUT AS A
TWO WHEEL DRIVE. AND WE'VE SINCE CONVERTED
TO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, ADDED THE LIFT KIT, GEARS,
LOCKERS, AND A HANDFUL OF OTHER PARTS TO MAKE
IT OFF ROAD READY. AND WHILE IT LOOKS
COMPLETE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS WE WANT
TO TAKE CARE OF BEFORE WE GET OUT OF THE SHOP TODAY. THIS AREA HERE BELOW THE
DOORS IS QUITE VULNERABLE TO TRAIL DAMAGE. SO WE'RE GONNA BE BUILDING
SOME CUSTOM ROCKER PROTECTION TO MAKE
SURE WE CAN ALWAYS OPEN THESE DOORS. AND THESE 37 INCH MUD
TERRAINS ARE BIG AND HEAVY. WHEN THIS THING IS BOUND
UP IN THE ROCKS, IT CAN SOMETIMES BE MORE THAN
THE STOCK POWER STEERING SYSTEM CAN HANDLE. SO TO MAKE SURE WE CAN
ALWAYS POINT THE TIRES IN THE DIRECTION WE WANT
TO GO WE'RE GONNA BE INSTALLING A HYDRAULIC
STEERING ASSIST KIT. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
GONNA GET STARTED WITH. THIS IS A PSC STAGE
TWO CYLINDER ASSIST KIT DESIGNED JUST FOR THESE
JK WRANGLERS, AND IT'LL GIVE US THE HYDRAULIC
FORCE NECESSARY TO TURN THE BIG TIRES, EVEN IF THE
AXLES ARE LOCKED OR WE'RE IN ROUGH TERRAIN. NOW THE KIT INCLUDES THE
HYDRAULIC CYLINDER ALONG WITH THE MOUNTING BRACKET
AND A TIE ROD CLAMP, A NICE LOOKING VENTED
RESERVOIR, AND ALL THE HOSE AND
FITTINGS WE NEED TO GET EVERYTHING INSTALLED. IT ALSO COMES WITH A HIGH
OUTPUT STEERING PUMP, NEW IDLER PULLEY, AND
SERPENTINE BELT. NOW ONE THING INCLUDED IN
THIS PACKAGE YOU DON'T SEE IS THE REBUILDING OF THE
FACTORY STEERING BOX. WE'VE ALREADY
SENT OURS TO THEM. THEY REBUILT IT, BLUE
PRINTED IT, MADE ALL THE MODIFICATIONS. WE'VE GOTTEN IT BACK AND
INSTALLED IT ALREADY. ANOTHER THING WE OPTED
FOR WAS ONE OF PSC'S DUAL COOLER KITS. IT COMES WITH THIS PRETTY
SLICK MOUNTING BRACKET JUST FOR THE JK'S
AND TWO PLATE AND FIN STYLE COOLERS. ONE FOR THE POWER
STEERING AND ONE FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. AFTER REMOVING THE AIR BOX
AND THE INTAKE TUBE, WE CAN EASILY REMOVE THE
STOCK SERPENTINE BELT AND IDLER PULLEY. THEY'RE BOTH
GETTING REPLACED. I'M ALSO UNBOLTING THE
FACTORY POWER STEERING PUMP, MAKING IT A
LITTLE BIT EASIER TO GET TO THE PRESSURE LINE. THEN REMOVING IT AND THE
POWER STEERING RESERVOIR. THE RESERVOIR AND PUMP ARE
COMING OUT AS AN ASSEMBLY

SO I DON'T MAKE A MESS. THEN WE CAN INSTALL
THE SUPPLIED PUMP. TWO OEM BOLTS AND THESE
HOLES, THE SUPPLIED THIRD BOLT THROUGH THE BOTTOM.

NOW THE FLUID RESERVOIR
OUTLET NEEDS TO SIT HIGHER THAN THE PUMP INLET. THERE NEEDS TO BE
A GRAVITY FEED TO EFFICIENTLY GET THE
FLUID DOWN TO THE PUMP. AND SINCE THE PUMP SITS
KINDA HIGH ON THE ENGINE,

GETTING THE RESERVOIR
TO SIT EVEN HIGHER CAN

BE A LITTLE BIT OF A
PACKAGING CHALLENGE.

NOW THERE IS A MOUNTING
BRACKET FOR THE RESERVOIR INCLUDED IN THE KIT THAT
I'VE WELDED A COUPLE OF EXTRA PIECES OF ALUMINUM
TO SO I CAN MOUNT IT HERE ON THE FIREWALL. AND THAT'LL LET THE
RESERVOIR SIT HIGHER AND

STILL ALLOW THE HOOD
TO CLOSE AND CLEAR THE BREATHER, BUT BARELY. NOW THE BRACKET IS PRETTY
SIMPLE AND ATTACHES TO AN EXISTING STUD ON
THE FIREWALL AND TO THE PINCH WELD.

I'VE GOT THE ALUMINUM
TAPPED TO ACCEPT THESE THREE BUTTON HEAD SCREWS. I'LL JUST TRIM THE HOOD
WEATHER STRIPPING TO FIT AROUND THE BRACKET. NOW THE RESERVOIR ENDED UP
BEING A COUPLE OF INCHES HIGHER THAN THE PUMP,
WHICH IS PERFECT. WITH THAT DONE WE CAN MOVE
ON TO INSTALLING THE RAM,

OR THE CYLINDER. DO A LITTLE GRINDING. AFTER MARKING WHERE THE
TABS ARE GONNA ATTACH, I'M USING A BRISTLE DISC TO
GET RID OF ANY PAINT SO I CAN DO SOME WELDING. NOW I'M JUST USING THE
ROD END AS A SPACER. IT'S COMING OUT BEFORE
I FULLY BURN IT IN. I'M ALSO REMOVING THE
TRACK BAR SO I DON'T DAMAGE THE POLY URETHANE
TRACK BAR BUSHING WITH TOO MUCH HEAT FROM
THE WELDING. [ welder crackling ] ALRIGHT, NOW IT'S GOOD.

AFTER GIVING THE METAL
SOME TIME TO COOL WE CAN PROTECT IT. A FEW MINUTES OF DRYING,
HIT IT WITH ANOTHER COAT. THEN USING THE SUPPLIED
GRADE EIGHT HARDWARE WE CAN ATTACH THE CYLINDER
TO THE BRACKET ON THE AXLE AND GET READY TO ATTACH IT
TO OUR HEAVY DUTY TIE ROD. THAT'S FULL RIGHT, AS IS
THE STEERING CYLINDER. TO ATTACH THE CYLINDER TO
THE TIE ROD WE'RE USING THIS CLAMP ON BRACKET. WHAT MAKES IT NICE IS
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WELD ANYTHING TO THE TIE ROD
TO MAKE THE ATTACHMENT. AND YOU CAN MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS WITH EASE. SIMPLY REMOVE THE BOLTS
HOLDING THE BRACKET IN PLACE, SLIDE IT INTO
POSITION, AND RECLAMP IT.

BACK UP IN THE ENGINE BAY
WE CAN INSTALL THE NEW LARGER IDLER PULLEY
AND SERPENTINE BELT. NOW BEFORE WE CONNECT ALL
THESE PARTS WITH THE FLUID HOSES, WE'RE GONNA FINISH
UP INSTALLING THE HARD PARTS BY REMOVING
THE GRILL AND INSTALLING THE COOLERS. HOPEFULLY I CAN SNEAK
THIS THING OUT OF HERE WITHOUT

TAKING THE BUMPER OFF. AFTER REMOVING A COUPLE OF
WIRING HARNESS RETAINERS WE CAN SLIP THE BRACKET
INTO POSITION AND SECURE

IT USING A COUPLE OF
SUPPLIED SELF DRILLING SELF TAPPING SCREWS,
TWO ON THE TOP AND THREE ON THE BOTTOM.

THEN WE CAN INSTALL
THE ACTUAL COOLERS. NOW FOR THE TRANSMISSION
COOLER IT NEEDS A LITTLE BIT OF CLEARANCE. SO WE'RE GONNA
HAVE TO TRIM THIS PIECE OF PLASTIC. JUST BE CAREFUL WITH
WHATEVER YOU'RE

CUTTING IT WITH. YOU DON'T WANT TO GET
INTO THE A/C CONDENSER. THAT WOULDN'T BE COOL! I HAD TO, I HAD TO!

ALRIGHT, WITH OUR COOLER
BOLTED DOWN BEHIND THE GRILL AND ALL OF OUR OTHER
HARD PARTS INSTALLED, WE CAN START THE
PROCESS OF CONNECTING EVERYTHING WITH HOSES. JUST REMEMBER THE HOSES
THAT GO IN BETWEEN OUR ASSIST CYLINDER AND THE
REBUILT FACTORY STEERING BOX TAKE THE HEAVY DUTY
HIGH PRESSURE HOSE. THIS STUFF IS GOOD
UP TO 2,300 PSI.

MOST OF THE TIME THE
DRIVER'S SIDE CYLINDER ATTACHES TO THE PORT
NEAREST TO THE FIREWALL. JUST REMEMBER TO LEAVE
ENOUGH SLACK IN THE LINES AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
DON'T INTERFERE WITH ANY MOVING SUSPENSION
COMPONENTS. OUR HYDRO ASSIST IS
JUST ABOUT BUTTONED UP. ALL I'VE GOT LEFT TO
DO IS TO REINSTALL OUR COLD AIR INTAKE. NOW THESE FACTORY JK
FLARES LEAVE A LITTLE

BIT TO BE DESIRED. THEY'RE NOT THE
MOST ATTRACTIVE FLARES IN THE WORLD. WE DEFINITELY PREFER THE
LOOK OF THESE BUSHWACKER FLAT STYLE FLARES. AND ONCE THEY'RE ON WE CAN
GET STARTED ON OUR CUSTOM ROCKER PROTECTION.

(RYAN)>> HEY GUYS,
WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOP. NOW WITH OUR FLARES
INSTALLED AT ALL FOUR CORNERS, WE'RE JUST ABOUT
READY TO HIT THE DOOR AND DO A LITTLE BIT
OF WHEELING. BUT LIKE WE MENTIONED
UP FRONT, WE'VE GOT ONE MORE PROJECT. WE WANT TO BUILD SOME
CUSTOM ROCKER PROTECTION FOR THIS THING.

AND NOW THAT OUR FLARES
ARE IN PLACE WE KNOW WHAT WE'VE GOT TO WORK WITH.

I STARTED THINGS OFF BY
CUTTING A 45 DEGREE ANGLE INTO ONE END OF THE TUBE. THEN GETTING MY OVERALL
LENGTH MEASUREMENT AND CUTTING A 45 INTO THE
OTHER SIDE, WHICH OUR DAKE COLD SAW MADE
QUICK WORK OF. AND BEFORE I BENT THE
FIVE SUPPORT TUBES, I WENT AHEAD AND
NOTCHED THE ENDS. IF YOU TRY TO NOTCH IT
AFTER YOU MAKE THE BENDS IN THE TUBE IT CAN BE
DIFFICULT TO ACCURATELY LOAD IT INTO THE NOTCHER. I'M USING AN INCH AND A
HALF HOLE SAW ON OUR INCH AND A HALF STEEL TUBING. AND WITH THE NOTCHES MADE
I CAN LOAD THE TUBING INTO THE BENDER, AND LOCK IT
INTO POSITION MAKING SURE THAT THE TUBE IS
INDEXED CORRECTLY. AND RATHER THAN MESS
AROUND WITH AN ANGLE FINDER OR THE DEGREE
WHEEL, I JUST EYE BALLED THE BEND AND TOOK A
MEASUREMENT TO MAKE IT EASILY REPEATABLE. THEN FOR THE OTHER FOUR
SUPPORTS IT'S AS SIMPLE AS MATCHING UP THAT 11 INCH
MEASUREMENT, AND I KNOW THEY'RE GONNA BE EXACT. THE PIECE OF TUBE I'M
WORKING ON NOW IS

ACTUALLY TWO BENDS. I'LL CUT IT IN THE MIDDLE
MAKING TWO SUPPORTS. THEN I NOTCHED A COUPLE
OF PIECES OF SCRAP EXHAUST TUBING, SET THEM UP ON THE
LIFT ARMS, MOCKED THE ROCK SLIDER INTO POSITION AND
GOT IT WHERE I WANTED IT. JUST USING ANOTHER
PIECE OF TUBING. SET MY SPACING
AWAY FROM THE BODY CAUSE IT'S CONVENIENT.

NOW THE TUBULAR SUPPORTS
ARE GONNA WELD DIRECTLY TO THE FRAME, BUT
THERE'S A SUSPENSION BRACKET IN MY WAY. CONTROL ARM BRACKET I'M
GONNA TRIM JUST A LITTLE BIT, GIVE ME SOME
ROOM TO WELD ON IT. JUST A LITTLE BIT, GIVE
ME SOME ROOM TO GET SOME WELD IN THERE.

AFTER MAKING A CUT, I'M
USING A BRISTLE DISC ON A DYE GRINDER TO GET RID OF
THE PAINT SO I CAN WELD DIRECTLY TO
THE BARE STEEL. THEN I JUST MOCK UP THE
FIRST SUPPORT, TACH WELD IT INTO PLACE, THEN
JUST WORK MY WAY DOWN THE FRAME RAIL. NOW I WILL ADD MORE
BRACING TO THESE LATER. FOR NOW THIS'LL
GET US MOCKED UP. NOW IN BETWEEN THE SLIDER
SUPPORTS I'M GONNA BE ADDING REENFORCEMENT
PLATES. BUT RATHER THAN GO WITH
JUST PLAIN FLAT STEEL, I'M

GONNA BE DIMPLE DYING
SOME HOLES INTO THE PLATE. STEP ONE IN THAT IS
DRILLING SOME HOLES. THEN AFTER CUTTING THE
HOLES I CAN USE OUR INCH AND A HALF DIMPLE DIE THAT
WE PICKED UP FROM LIGHT RACING TO FORM
THE DIMPLES. OF COURSE IN CONJUNCTION
WITH OUR HEAVY DUTY HYDRAULIC PRESS. NOW BY ADDING THESE
DIMPLES TO THE FLAT PLATE IT MAKES THEM LIGHTER,
STRONGER, AND ARGUABLY BETTER LOOKING. AND IT ADDS A LITTLE BIT
OF STYLE TO OUR OTHERWISE

STRAIGHT FORWARD
ROCK SLIDERS. THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. NOW IN ADDITION TO THESE
REENFORCEMENT PLATES I'M ALSO GONNA BE ADDING A
VERTICAL SUPPORT TO THE BACK EDGE OF THE
PLATE TO GIVE IT A LITTLE BIT OF STRENGTH. I'M ALSO GONNA CAP THE
ENDS OF THE TUBE, BUT THAT'LL HAPPEN
OFF OF THE JEEP. ONCE I FINISH TACKING
THESE PLATES INTO POSITION, I CAN CUT THE
TACK WELDS LOOSE AT THE FRAME AND REMOVE THE ROCK
SLIDER AS ONE BIG PIECE. ALRIGHT, TO THE
WELDING TABLE. NOW THE MAIN SLIDER TUBE
IS STRAIGHT FOR NOW. EVERY TIME I TRY
TO WELD ON IT IT'S GONNA TRY TO WARP. SO TO MINIMIZE THAT I'VE
GOT IT CLAMPED TO A PIECE OF HEAVY QUARTER
INCH ANGLE IRON. IT'S STILL GONNA
WARP A LITTLE BIT BUT THIS WILL MINIMIZE IT. THEN I CAN WELD IN ALL THE
REENFORCEMENT PLATES IN A SERIES OF TACK WELDS.

(ANNOUNCER)>> WHEN WE
COME BACK WE'LL BATTLE THE TRAIL AND MOTHER
NATURE, STICK AROUND.

(RYAN)>> HEY GUYS, WELCOME
BACK TO TRUCK TECH. WE'RE UP HERE AT GOLDEN
MOUNTAIN PARK IN SPARTA, TENNESSEE, TO
TEST OUT OUR JK.

NOW IT RAINED ON OUR TRIP
OVER HERE AND THEY'RE FORECASTING MORE. SO WE'RE GONNA
TRY TO SQUEEZE IN SOME QUICK WHEELING. THAT WATER'S NOT HELPING. GOLDEN MOUNTAIN'S GOT SOME
OF THE BEST WHEELING IN THE REGION, AND THEIR
TRAILS GO FROM MILD TO QUITE CHALLENGING. YEP, ROCKERS ARE
DOING THEIR JOB. THIS WATER AND MUD'S GONNA
BE PUSHING ME AROUND ALL DAY I THINK.

I'M GONNA GO AROUND
THAT SUPER NASTY SPOT. NOW WE HAD OUR TOYO MUD
TERRAINS AIRED DOWN TO ABOUT 10 PSI ON OUR
ALUMINUM BEAD LOCK WHEELS

AND THEY WERE
WORKING REALLY WELL. AND WITH OUR HEAVY DUTY
FRONT AXLE, 35 SPLINE DIFF AND AXLE SHAFTS, WE
KNEW WE COULD GET ON THE THROTTLE A LITTLE BIT
WITHOUT FEAR OF BREAKING

AN AXLE SHAFT
EVERY TIME WE DID. NOW THE SUSPENSION WAS
WORKING REALLY WELL AND TAKING US FARTHER OFF
THE TRAIL THAN THIS JK PROBABLY SHOULD
HAVE BEEN GOING. THIS IS DEFINITELY A
DIFFICULT TRAIL, AND IS USUALLY TRAVERSED BY
BUGGIES OR PEOPLE THAT REALLY DON'T CARE
ABOUT BODY DAMAGE. BUT WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES. ALRIGHT, NOW EVERYTHING'S
GOING GOOD SO FAR. AND THE TIME WE SPENT
BUILDING ROCK SLIDERS AND SKID PLATES IS PAYING OFF
BECAUSE WE'RE DRAGGING THIS THING ACROSS
SOME BOULDERS. EVEN OUR HEAVY DUTY
STEERING LINKAGE TOOK A PRETTY GOOD HIT BUT SEEMS
TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE. SO LET'S KEEP GOING.

NOW OUR BDS LONG ARM KIT
AND FOX SHOCKS MAKE THIS JEEP RIDE GREAT OUT ON THE
ROAD, AND IT'S HANDLING THIS TRAIL
PRETTY WELL TOO. WELL THE ODDS AREN'T REAL
GOOD THAT THIS IS GONNA HAPPEN BECAUSE THE
FARTHER WE MADE IT THE TOUGHER THE TERRAIN. THE FRONT END FEELS
A LITTLE LIGHT.

AND IN A RUSH TO GET ON
THE TRAIL I REMEMBERED TO AIR DOWN THE TIRES BUT
FORGOT TO DISCONNECT THE

FRONT SWAY BAR UNTIL ABOUT
HALF WAY UP THE TRAIL. I HOPE THAT'S NOT SOME
TWISTED FORESHADOWING. I'LL TAKE THIS WITH ME. CLEAN UP THE TRAIL.

ALRIGHT IF I GET OVER THIS
LITTLE RISE AM I GOOD TO KINDA GET AFTER IT?

THOUGHT THAT MIGHT HAPPEN. HEY THERE'S A WINCH ON THE
FRONT OF THIS THING RIGHT? YEAH, THAT'S NOT GONNA
GET BETTER ON ITS OWN. IT'S GONNA JUST KEEP
PULLING MY FRONT END DOWN HILL AND GO FROM
BAD TO WORSE. I THINK NOW IS WHEN
YOU JUST PULL OUT THE WINCH AND MOVE ON. INSIDE OUR RECOVERY KIT IS
A TREE SAVER, WHICH WILL PREVENT US FROM DAMAGING
THE BARK ON THE TREE. HUGGING THIS TREE. I'M GONNA LIKE IT A
WHOLE LOT IF IT GETS ME OUT OF THIS BIND.

NOW WINCHES AREN'T JUST
FOR GETTING VEHICLES UNSTUCK FROM DEEP MUD. THEY CAN ALSO BE USED AS A
TOOL TO GET YOU FURTHER UP THE TRAIL AND
DO SO SAFELY.

AH, MUCH BETTER, THAT
FEELS MUCH SAFER! THAT WINCH JUST
PAID FOR ITSELF.

(RYAN)>> HEY GUYS, WELCOME
BACK TO THE TEST OF OUR FORMERLY TWO WHEEL
DRIVE JEEP WRANGLER. WE'RE WINDING IN THE WINCH
ROPE WITH OUR WIRELESS REMOTE BECAUSE IT
JUST GOT US OUT OF A PRECARIOUS SITUATION. I LIKE HOW IT KEEPS THE
MONITOR ON, TEMPERATURE AND BATTERY LEVELS,
PRETTY SLICK!

NOW AFTER FINALLY
REMEMBERING TO DISCONNECT THE FRONT SWAY BAR I
COULD INSTANTLY FEEL THE INCREASE IN SUSPENSION
TRAVEL GOING OVER THE ROCKS AND IT RODE A
LITTLE SOFTER TOO.

NOW WITH THE RAIN HOLDING
OFF WE WERE ACTUALLY DOING OKAY WORKING OUR
WAY UP THIS TIGHT AND NASTY TRAIL. AND WHILE IT LOOKS DRY,
THE TIRES WERE TELLING A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT STORY. AND GRAVITY AND PHYSICS
STARTING TAKING OVER.

A LITTLE SLICK OUT HERE. I NEED A VEIGHT. I COULD'VE HAD A VEIGHT. AND HERE'S THE EFFECT
ON OUR DENT FREE APPROXIMATELY
5,000 POUND JEEP. AT THAT POINT I DECIDED TO
GET OUT AND TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE TRAIL. ALRIGHT, NOW IT LOOKS
PRETTY NASTY UP HERE. WE'RE PROBABLY GETTING IN
OVER OUR HEAD BUT WE'RE GONNA GIVE IT A SHOT. AT LEAST MAKE
SOME GOOD TV.

WHAT'S THE WORST
THAT COULD HAPPEN? THIS RAIN DIDN'T DO
US ANY FAVORS EITHER. BUT WE'RE WELL EQUIPPED,
SO LET'S GO FOR IT. RIGHT AFTER I HOPPED BACK
IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND FIRED IT UP, THE
SKIES OPENED UP.

HOLY #á$%! CAME OFF THAT ROCK QUICK.

YEAH, WITH IT RAINING
LIKE IT IS, IT'S ONLY GONNA GET WORSE. I THINK IT'S PROBABLY
TIME TO HEAD BACK TO THE SHOP BEFORE WE WAD
UP THIS FRESHLY NEWLY COMPLETED JEEP.

NOW PEOPLE LOVE
THEIR JEEP WRANGLERS. THAT'S CLEAR, BUT IF
THERE'S ONE DRAW BACK IT'S THAT THERE'S NOT A TON
OF INTERIOR STORAGE ROOM, EVEN WITH THE FOUR DOOR. THEN YOU LOAD IT DOWN WITH
CAMPING GEAR FOR A LONG WEEKEND AND YOU
QUICKLY RUN OUT OF ROOM ON THE INSIDE. AND WITH THE TRADITIONAL
SOFT TOP YOU CAN'T STACK THINGS ON THE ROOF. WELL THAT'S ALL CHANGED
WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE RUGGED RIDGE EXO TOP. NOW WHAT ALLOWS THE EXO
TOP TO CARRY WEIGHT ABOVE THE CLOTH IS THE
SUBSTANTIAL FRAME WORK THAT YOU AN ATTACH ALL
YOUR OUTDOOR GEAR TO.

NOW THE KIT INCLUDES,
OBVIOUSLY, THE FRAME WORK, THE DOOR SURROUNDS, THE
BRACKETRY, ESSENTIALLY EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO
CONVERT YOUR FACTORY SOFT TOP TO AN EXO TOP. THE FABRIC ITSELF IS A
HEAVY GRADE BLACK DIAMOND

SOFT TOP MATERIAL. THE WINDOWS ARE TINTED,
AND THEY'RE PRESSED AND POLISHED TO BE
OPTICALLY CLEAR. LET'S TAKE A CLOSER
LOOK ON THE JEEP. ESSENTIALLY THE FRAME
WORK ATTACHES TO THE JEEP. THE SOFT TOP FITS AROUND
IT ATTACHING TO THE BODY AND SUSPENDED BY
THE FRAME WORK. ANOTHER COOL FEATURE IS
THEIR SUN SLIDER, WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO SLIDE THE
FRONT PORTION OF THE TOP BACK TO LET SOME SUNSHINE
IN WITHOUT EVEN GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO RETAINS THE
FUNCTIONALITY OF YOUR NORMAL SOFT TOP, ALLOWING
YOU TO UNZIP AND REMOVE THE REAR WINDOWS, TUCK
IN THE REAR PORTIONS, AND CREATE WHAT THEY
CALL A SAVANNAH TOP.

SO IF YOU'VE GOT A TWO OR
FOUR DOOR JK AND YOU NEED A NEW SOFT TOP OR YOU
JUST WANT TO INCREASE ITS FUNCTIONALITY AND FUN
FACTOR, CHECK OUT THE RUGGED RIDGE EXO TOP. GUYS THANKS FOR
WATCHING TRUCK TECH,
